When did you join the Salesforce journey?

Salesforce have come a long way and we’ve been with them from the beginning – 2001

It is not until you look back that you realize how far you have come. We have been a customers of Salesforce from the very early days. At Nimbus in 2001 (the exact timing I forget) we became a early customer when Salesforce was 2 guys (Steve Garnett and Ryan Ward) selling out of a Regus office in Bracknell, UK. The application had JUST leads, accounts, contacts – and maybe opportunities – and the selling point was that it was in the cloud – so access anywhere.

We embraced everything Salesforce had to offer

We customized using Force.com building out 80+ objects in the areas of HR, Training, Expenses, Compliance, Asset Management, Hosting Management and Procurement. All before apps were on the AppExchange.

Every employee in the company was a Salesforce user, because we were a “customer company”

As a result we were a UK reference customer and were regular speakers at Dreamforce.

We were one of only 3 customers speaking at the first “Dreamforce” (before they were called Dreamforce) in the UK in 2001 with Marc and 150 people in the Institute of Directors in London.

We implemented Chatter when it first came out and became a “social company”
